    ***OKIES in the BYC III ***

    Quote: Steve go to tractor supply and get some Tylan-50 injectable and a few small syringes and the shortest 22ga needles that they have. If they are bannys give 1/4cc twice daily and if they are large fowl give 1/2cc twice daily. Do a course of injections for 7 days, no matter if they look...

    ***OKIES in the BYC III ***

    Morning Everyone, I have a question. At least two of my hens have been making a coughing gurgling noise for several days. Now one of them has become lethargic. What have I got going on and how do I fix it? My egg production has dropped as well. Please help. Steve

    Can anyone id these tracks

    Raven, my Black Australorp was eaten by something last night. It's my fault, I didn't secure the coop until late. There was nothing left but feathers 20 feet from the coop. My rooster "Big Daddy" and hen "Olive" were roosting on my porch when I got home instead of the coop. I assume...

    What is everyone doing to prepare for the snowpacolypse? My bantam cochin rooster got some frostbite on his comb during the last cold spell. I am going to winterize my coop and I think I will add a light so their water doesn't freeze. Any other suggestions?

    I need more hens!!! I have 4 and they are all 7 months old and laying now. Need about another half dozen to fill some egg orders from family and friends. Steve Maybe I need 8 more to make an even dozen a day But they don't always all lay an egg a day so Maybe I need 12 more.

    Big Daddy vs The Hawk

    That's how I have started to treat mine. They may be only worth $5 - $10 in real dollars but with the emotional and time investment from me, they are worth far more than money. My EE started laying eggs last week and she is the only one so I am darn sure not gonna lose her to some cat, dog or...

    Big Daddy vs The Hawk

    Yesterday I was feeding my 6 chickens some treats when a bird flew over us. I didn't really pay attention to it because there are several crows that live around and they like to fly by and see what treats they can steal once I go back in the house. This time though my biggest rooster, Big...

    Quick question. If I am feeding my hens layer feed, do I need to supplement it with oyster shell?

    Hi all. Was just told about this page by Poultry and Bees. Sold 2 of my roosters today at the flea market in Midwest City. Met Mary Beth and had a great conversation. Looking forward to meeting some of ya'll and learning more about chickens in Oklahoma. Steve
